Creative Mentoring places a strong emphasis on mentor training.

Why? We want to make sure you get the most out of your mentoring relationship. After all, investing in kids is our number one priority!

Because we take this pretty seriously, our training meets the standards outlined in the Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring, MENTOR’s cornerstone publication, reflecting the most up-to-date research, practice, and thinking in the mentoring field. Each and every mentor that goes through Connecting Generations is required to attend this free training before being placed with a child. If you are an educator wishing to work with children as a mentor, we have a tailored mentor training model for you! These distinct training sessions are scheduled when requested by partner sites.

Let’s Get Specific

High Schoolers have the potential to be the perfect role models for elementary age students.

If you’re a high school student in Delaware and you’re wondering how you can get involved in a mentor relationship, we have the resources you need right here! Creative Mentoring has a tailored mentor training and handbook specifically for high school students interested in mentoring younger elementary students. This two-hour training covers the same topics as our standard training, but is geared towards engaging high school students.

How we help…

Programs grounded in research and evidence. Our mentoring and character-building programs are based on a large body of research that shows: 1) students experiencing adversity need additional supports in school, 2) noncognitive skills such as self-control and responsible decision-making are necessary for academic achievement, 3) students experiencing adversity benefit from programs that focus on the development of social-emotional skills.
